					<description><![CDATA[he voted for Mayorkas, Austin and Garland, that makes him a knave, he stood against the Abraham Accords, that makes him a scoundrel, he voted for the first phony impeachment after Hunter&#039;s boss Kolomoisky lost us 6 billion dollars, I&#039;ll sum it up as jive turkey,

Connery using vocal fry, I tend to doubt it, I haven&#039;t heard enough of CS Lewis to tell,
Samuel Jackson is often screaming so loudly I can&#039;t tell, he is sometimes subtle about it,like the negotiator, I forget his first role was in Patriot Games in 92, at least that I recall,]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So Romney meets with Trump and he declares he still is no fan of Trump. He says it&#039;s a matter of personal character.

Romney is really an incredibly stupid idiot. 
The next election , IMHO, will be very close and Trump needs all the support possible if he is to prevail. 
What Romney is actually doing is helping Biden get re-elected. 
How is this, pray tell, better for our nation?? 

The bottom line should be which  policies - once in office- will a president pursue/implement; that&#039;s it. The personality of a president should not be the determining factor in choosing who to support. 
True, it would be great if Trump had the public persona of a JFK or even an Obama. He doesn&#039;t.
But the alternative - Joe Biden - is far far worse choice for president than Trump. 

Of course, Romney is not the only dumbpublican acting out.  Look at Paul Ryan another loser of a dumbpublican and, for all intents and purposes, a supporter of Joe Biden. 

You can always rely on republicans to totally F up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: Vocal fry

&lt;i&gt;--&quot;Vocal Fry: what it is, who does it, and why people hate it!&quot;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yL2GezneU&lt;/i&gt;

TLDR: 

* Lots of great examples. 
* Vocal fry isn&#039;t something new that young American women came up with.
* Sean Connery and CS Lewis used vocal fry.
* I notice that a fair number of mixed-race males use vocal fry, such as Tone Loc, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Morgan Freeman and Samuel Jackson.
* When used by males, vocal fry conveys a certain gravitas and authority, 
* Perhaps this is what makes vocal fry annoying when used by young women.
* Vocal fry is a standard characteristic of the proper pronunciation of Finnish.]]></description>
